I got a bad boy, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it

Yggdrasil Empire Group of Companies.

Nakatingalang tinignan ko ang pinakamataas na industrial building na nakatayo dito ngayon sa Pinas.

Huminga ako ng malalim saka nagsimulang maglakad papasok ng building. After confirming my appointment letter, the guards then proceed for full-body checking before giving me a visitor's identification card so I can freely roam inside the building.

Guards are also wearing black polo shirts and slocks with earpiece on. Pakalat-kalat yung iba sa paligid ng building at may kanya-kanyang radyo at kalibre 45 na armas na dala sa holster belt. Muntik na ako pumalakpak dahil sa sobrang higpit ng security nila dito.

Inilibot ko ang buong paningin pagkapasok ko ng building.

The exterior, the ambiance, the high ceiling, and even the atmosphere screams something in between elegance and professionalism. Everyone was wearing corporate attire while holding a bunch of printed papers, attaché cases, or even checking their wristwatch from time to time.

Ako lang ata yung naka semi formal attire dito. And even though they were not checking me from head to toe, nararamdaman ko pa rin na parang naa-out of place ako dito.

I just shook my head and continue my way to the frontdesk as my eyes keep on looking around the vicinity.

"Good morning, ma'am. What can I do for you?" Nakangiting bati ng receptionist saakin.

Pormal na ngumiti naman ako sa harapan nya, "I have an appointment with Ms. Odin Cassiopeia Zafeiriou. Here's my appointment letter."

The receptionist personally escort me inside to a black elevator. I just need to go up to 65th floor which is the Chief Executive Office matapos nyang makipag-usap sa kabilang linya ng telepono patungkol sa appointment letter ko.

Habang umaandar ang elevator, may kabang tinitigan ko ang sariling repleksyon sa loob ng elevator. I don't know who's Odin Cassiopeia Zafeiriou is, but all I know right now is that she's the only person who can help me from that Sinclair woman as her 'secretary' told me yesterday.

Hindi ko alam kung anong kailangan niya saakin at kung saan niya nalaman ang balita patungkol saamin ni Colleen. But my gut was telling me that I should definitely show my face and meet this Odin Zafeiriou.

Ting!

Bumungad saakin ang maluwag at eleganteng lugar pagkalabas ko ng elevator. I don't know if this the whole 65th floor pero may malaking pintuan pa na nakalagay sa gitna, sa gilid nito ay may maayos at organisadong cubicle na para ata sa secretary ng ceo.

"Ms. Marudo?"

My neck quickly snap at the voice who called me. It was a woman on her mid 20's. Magkasing tangkad lang kami ngayon dahil sa high heels na suot niya.

Her aura exudes formality kaya agad na umayos ako sa harapan niya.

"Yes, that's me. And you are?"

Pormal na ngumiti sya saakin before she offered me a handshake na agad ko namang tinanggap.

"I'm Rachel Aniston, the one who called you yesterday. A pleasure to see you here, Ms. Marudo."

"Please to meet you, ma'am." Agad na sagot ko sakanya habang kinakamayan namin ang isa't isa.

"Lady Odin is waiting for you. You may now go inside."
